christmas

heard my first christmas carol a few days ago. sept. 2, 830 to be exact. when i told people, i found out a lot of them had ALREADY heard christmas music before i even did. wow. talk about christmas spirit. someone had even seen a countdown to christmas already.
i love it. people might think it's strange. roll their eyes. become cynical. but, the way i figure it... if you get people thinking christmas-y, then maybe a million of them would start thinking "oh i have to start the shopping early" or "how do i get people to buy in my store this season". but maybe, there will be a few who will actually think of the christmas spirit. and decide to start early this year too. and the longer time we have exposed to it, the chances go up even more??
so i'm all for this starting-the-season-early. of the twenty million things people have to occupy their minds, christmas thoughts are hardly the worst. and maybe, for a few, it might even be inspirational. and that, is something to be happy about.
merry christmas moo. i know i'm not the first to greet you. i remember gene. : )
i'll see you soon!
